How about something like a hot air balloon meet, that would be really interesting to see, lots of colour and a great photo op.

Something to do with offroading, maybe a obstacle course with big rocks, a mud pit, and a show and shine. There's a lot of four wheelers up there. If it turns out to be a success, word gets around and can become a yearly thing.

Car shows seem to be pretty big. I have a neighbour that shows 2 mustangs and someone I know just spent a whack of money buying a Shelby and going to do car shows.

Awesome idea!

I'd definitely go to that.

Question is, how much space would you need for something like that?

So here's a general idea of what we have for us

WINTER AND SPRING TRAINING

• Winners Cafe, which is licensed, has a pool table and offers teletheatre betting
• 1-mile Track
• Round Pen
• Outdoor Arena
• Stall Rentals
• R.V./Campsite Rentals



The grounds, buildings and facilities can be rented for various events and functions:

• Horse/Cattle shows
• Rodeos/Barrel Racing
• Hunter Jumper Shows
• English Horse Shows
• Sulky Racing
• Horse Racing
• Weddings
• And more!!!

These grounds have had West Coast Amusements set up shop here before and are looking to have it again, we're looking into Monster Trucks but so far we've only got maybe 6 events happening between now and September and would like to be more busier than that.


What you need:


WACKY WAVING INFLATABLE ARM FLAILING TUBE MEN!

Good question. This is just the idea stage and if that flies, someone has to get in touch with the people that do that sort of thing in the Fraser Valley and see what they say. Probably need a lot of room. I don't know a thing about ballooning, maybe they lift off from somewhere and land somewhere else a few miles downwind which would make two venues, or they could just stay tethered and go up and down...........a great way to sell tickets for rides. I think kids young and old alike would enjoy that.
